Seven lame superheroes try to save the day in MYSTERY MEN!

I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth. – Janeane Garafolo

When Champion City’s legendary superhero, Captain Amazing, falls into the hands of the evil madman Casanova Frankenstein and his disco-dancing henchmen, an aspiring group of misfit superheroes called the “Mystery Men” show what they can do. Based on the Dark Horse comic, Mystery Men includes: Mr. Furious, whose power comes from his boundless rage; The Shoveler, a father who shovels “better than anyone”; The Blue Raja, a fork-flinging mama’s boy; The Bowler, who fights crime with the help of her father’s skull; The Spleen, whose power is pure flatulence; Invisible Boy, who’s only invisible when no one’s watching and The Sphinx, a cliche-spewing philosopher.

Part of Nitehawk’s summer program COMEDIANS IN FILM (Women in Comedy).
